I was promised a callback from Amex by 4pm so they called me back at 6pm (!) with fairly good news - they had cleared with Qantas that the purchase was ok but a comfort seat has a different price structure apparently as there are no taxes to pay so it has been transferred to the amex costs...

Not worried about points at all, Im just trying to think of workarounds as the Amex Travel online chat and phone help are terrible huge hold times etc . This is day three trying to sort something out. This is for the return leg of a trip so maybe Ill follow your advice - book it as...

As title , I have a $450 amex voucher for use with qantas. I want to buy x3 $139 seats - 2 for myself and partner and one for comfort. I cant do this with online booking as you need to enter a name for each passenger and it wont let me enter the same name twice. Having chatted with Amex travel...

Similar thing with my Amex , I changed it from the Ultimate down to the Explorer so I didnt have to pay the $450 annual fee. During the change over I rented a car from Thrifty and and the weekend got the 'deposit' refunded. Now Im in the situation where Amex say there is no change to my card and...

2000 for me too , I was wondering what thy were from ! :)

Also knocked back. My situation is always a little odd as Im separated but not yet divorced and living with my de facto. Im also renting currently but own half the house my ex is still in which has a mortgage which is still in my name although Im not paying it. This means always having to pick...

Signed up and got approval last week but yet to see an actual card. Also .. quite a shock to see I have 30 grand credit available , Ive only got a 70l tank !!

I have a single use code, usual numbers , $50 off , minimum $150 spend , wine only ( I tried to get the Gin and Vodka double pack and it wouldnt go.) Must be used before 10th Feb If you can use it PM me and maybe post here so others know. Cheers Jim

I had a situation when returning from my Sydney trip a couple of weeks ago too, also at the Sydney lounge. Wandered up to the entrance to be met by one lady standing and one at the desk. I showed my boarding pass on my phone to the lady standing, she asked if it was a complimentary pass to...

Hasnt that always been the case ?

Just an upgrade. I got a lounge pass on my last flight and while I enjoyed being away from the masses it wasnt the opulent haven of luxury that my minds eye had created for me. Im guessing that the business lounge will have a similar effect :) Im still looking forward to it though. Then its on...
